Acoustic evaluation of the vertical distribution of dwarf ayu Plecoglossus altivelis altivelis in Lake Biwa

SUMMARY: The vertical distribution of dwarf ayu Plecoglossus altivelis altivelis in the pelagic waters of Lake Biwa was evaluated from June to September in 1995–97 from eight acoustic surveys using a quantitative echosounder. In each survey, echoes from a depth range of 3 m to the sea bottom were collected at a station every 2.7 s for 24 h together with measurements of vertical profiles of water temperature and chlorophyll-a. The ayu's echoes were identified using an underwater video camera. The ayu were observed near the maximum chlorophyll-a depth and above the thermocline. Their density was highest at depths of 4–11 m with 2–4 individuals/m ³ and was almost zero below 20 m. Echo signs were recorded as having a frequent duration of more than 1 h at night, whereas were of a shorter duration in the day. The fish stay in the epilimnion during the day without any clear vertical migration, but are distributed more uniformly at night. The advantages of remaining in the epilimnion are discussed in terms of food availability and predator avoidance.     

Application of acoustic Doppler current profiler combined with a scientific echo sounder for krill Euphausia pacifica density estimation

ABSTRACT:   An application of the acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP, 153.6 kHz) in combination with a scientific echo sounder (EK60, 38 and 200 kHz) was investigated to estimate the density of krill Euphausia pacifica . The acoustic backscattering strength from sound scattering layers was compared with biomass estimates from midwater trawls. Euphausia pacifica was targeted among mixed species populations in the sound scattering layer in the offshore Funka Bay area of Hokkaido, Japan. The frequency characteristics of acoustic backscattering by krill were calculated using a distorted wave Born approximation scattering model at three frequencies. Krill aggregations identified from the EK60 data were extracted as the mean volume backscattering strength difference between two frequencies. They were then used to identify similar aggregations in the ADCP data by matching observation times and depths for the two methods, which were applied simultaneously. Results from the comparison of the mean volume backscattering strength and the density calculated from the ADCP and EK60 showed that ADCP can be used to measure density and spatial–temporal distribution of krill aggregations. Current speed and direction at the study site were found to be 16.1 cm/s and 187.0°, respectively, and krill speed and direction (including the current component) were found to be 19.8 cm/s and 172.2°, respectively. Based on the ADCP data, the net speed and direction of the krill aggregations were found to be 5.9 cm/s and 128.0°, respectively.     

西部少数民族贫困山区扶贫模式研究——以四川省昭觉县为例

西部民族贫困山区是我国扶贫攻坚的重点和难点地区,其扶贫工作的好坏直接关系：我国民族团结、全面建设小康社会目标的实现。在分析西部民族贫困山区县——四川省昭觉县农村贫困与扶贫工作现状的基础上,总结了适合民族贫困山区县的扶贫模式——“三集中”扶贫模式,提出通过发展县域循环经济和建立健全生态环境补偿机制来推广发展“三集中”扶贫模式的对策建议。

汶川地震后中学生心理健康状况与心理干预的关系

采用症状自评量表（SCL-90）及自编的心理干预调查表对413名中学生进行调查。结果表明：22．1％的中学生接受过心理干预;接受干预组的中学生在躯体化、人际敏感、焦虑和精神赢性四个因子上显著低于未接受干预组;接受干预组的女生在焦虑、精神病性两个因子上得分显著低于未接受干预组;初二年级接受干预组的中学生在人际敏感、精神病性两个因个子上得分显著低于未干预组,初三年级接受干预组的中学生在躯体化因子上得分显著低于未干预组。地震后中学生心理健康状况欠佳,心理干预能有效地改善中学生心理健康状况,在重大创伤性事件后有必要及时给予心理干预。     

Sensory evaluation of farmed sharpsnout seabream (Diplodus puntazzo)

The first attempts at applying aquacultural techniques to sharpsnoutseabream (Diplodus puntazzo) have proved very promising.One of the factors to keep in mind when analysing the viability of a speciesforindustrial farming is that of consumer acceptance of the product, a variablethat can be measured by sensory evaluation tests. To that end, 107 participantsfrom a number of work centres were assessed with hedonic sensory tests usingsharpsnout seabream samples. For reference purposes, the tasting also includedgilthead seabream samples. Participants were asked to fill out a questionnairethat included questions concerning their preferences for any one fish. Weanalysed the sensory attributes of both fish species using a hedonic scale, andalso their acceptability (disposition to purchase) to consumers. The resultsproved fairly encouraging with a view to sharpsnout seabream large-scaleproduction. All attributes tested in the sensory profile analysis werepositively rated. About 60% of the surveyed population would consider buyingsharpsnout seabream at a price similar to that of gilthead seabream (10),and 85% found it to be pleasing to the eye. Aside from flavour, its texture,juiciness and fat level are the most important appraisal attributes. Efforts toimprove the organoleptic characteristics of the species should focus mainly onthese attributes.

不同DEM分辨率下的坡面土壤侵蚀模型的坡长因子提取对比研究

采用基于GIS的非累计流量的坡长直接提取算法(NCSL)和空间分析提取法(SAC)对陕北省安塞县10个样区的坡长进行提取,并计算相应的坡长因子。对不同DEM分辨率下的坡长提取结果对比,结果表明:NCSL对坡长的提取精度明显好于SAC的提取结果,其中DEM在5、10 m分辨率下的提取精度最好,且二者计算的坡长因子值差异不大,因此,可采用10 m分辨率NCSL方法提取坡长。
